Personalized Cards & Color Recipe

Today, as I was going through my Christmas shopping lists (yes, I'm still not done yet!), I felt like I needed something to add to Betty's gift. Betty is my next door neighbor and the sweetest lady you will ever meet. She is in her mid 80's and I always find it hard to shop for her because she has everything. We go to the same hair salon and I always get her a gift certificate there and homemade buckeye and peanut butter fudge candy....but I wanted to add a little something extra so I got crafty today...I decided to make her a set of personalized cards since I know she sends out many because most of her family lives in other states. I also wanted to create a Color Recipe to show what color ink and color card I paired together, for anyone wanting to whip up a set of these for a last minute gift. If you're like me and are a HUGE Hero Arts fan, then this will be easy peasy.

To get started, pick out a background stamp. I used THIS one like I did in my last post. I thought it was elegant and classy just like Betty. ;)

I'm having so much fun perusing your blog tonite! I love your fun style! This set especially caught my eye- love the rainbow of colors! The personalization is such a great idea, too! Thanks for sharing how you made them, too! HUGS!

These are a beautiful gift which I'm sure your friend will appreciate so much. You are so thoughtful! Thanks you for giving us the wonderful guide for what Hero Art color combinations to use. I will be sure to keep it .
